What a beautiful day.

I say “scorcher” in Scottish terms.

The forecast was a high of 16°C but it’s definitely been warmer than that.

Tomorrow we go back to torrential rain, so I’m out in the garden with the pups, making the most of it while we can.

It’s no wonder the Scot’s rush outside the minute the sun shines and we seem to get so little of it.

I’m in shorts and a vest top and I’m not cold at all. Last night I was jumper on, jumper off…. But we sat out until 8pm, which was lovely.

We left Khaleesi on her own for the first time last night. As suspected, she was absolutely fine as we moved Bhru back in with her for company.

I’m nowhere near as driven this week. I think the HRT progesterone has really taken its toll this month. I’m shattered.

I didn’t feel full of the joys this morning, despite the beautiful weather.

My work laptop wouldn’t work, just had a black screen and it took me 3 hours of trying to fix it, in between customer visits, before I gave up and took it to Utopia Computers in Kilmarnock. Craig who owns it is my sis-in-law, Lisa’s, friend.

I got Craig when I went in and he did everything he could to try to rescue it. He didn’t charge me for all the time he spent which was really lovely of him despite me trying to insist. He’s given me some ideas… getting a cable delivered tomorrow which will link it to another monitor so I can rescue everything on the drive.

Failing that we are back to square one!! All of my work is on that lap top and despite manually backing it up…. The last time I actually did it was July 2023!!! How time flies 🤦🏻‍♀️😆

That didn’t upset me half as much as it would have in the past. It is what it is and all I can do is try my best to retrieve the files. If I can’t I can only work with what I have.

I’m just back to feeling a bit unsettled and irritable. I should track this and see if it’s the same week every month?!? I think I say that a lot.

We’re going to attempt a 7k run tomorrow morning before work. Wish us luck!! I know exercise will help though every part of wants to say that I’ll just have a lie in…. I’m still trying to do something inspired every day even although the weekend was much quieter than usual. I’m keeping on the positive tact.

Meanwhile I’ll go and enjoy my Heineken 0% in the sunshine.

And maybe Calaidh will give me a minutes pace sometime soon! Even Khaleesi is saying there she goes again with that ball 🥎 😆

Stay safe everyone ☀️☀️☀️
